much love monday [blog makeover]


I love: giving my blog a makeover.... as you can see.
If you've been reading my blog for a long time (thank you!), you probably notice I do this a quite often. It's probably better to more consistent, but oh well, I just keep changing my mind. I thought I'd make this new colour scheme more earthy and subdued, which seems appropriate as it is autumn here. On the other hand, it probably looks like someone just spilled a bottle of brown paint all over my old layout.

♥

How to join in Much Love Monday*:
1. Do a blog post that includes a picture of a heart and mention something you love.
2. Leave a link of your blog post in the Linky space below.**
3. PLEASE put in the thing you love in the form's title space.
4. Although not essential, I do appreciate it if you link back to my blog. There are some Much Love buttons available on my sidebar if you wish to use one.
* You don't have to do the post on a Monday, I just collect the links on this day.
** Please leave the link AFTER you've done the post. Thanks!



P.S. Don't forget, I'm having a 50% off store-wide sale over at my Etsy shop.Tell your friends! :)

    i noticed some changes on your blog over the weekend and i'm all for it. tinkering with my blog ranks tops on my list as far as hobbies go and i enjoy watching the transformation of other blogs, too. notebook doodles tweaks her blog from time to time and it never ceases to amaze me how even the most minor of changes can make an improvement.

    the color scheme you chose is quite beautiful, Anna -- not at all like spilled brown paint! i happen to find it warm and inviting. bravo!

    Today I saw a car in the parking lot with "All you need is LOVE" written on it and I thought of your blog! I would have taken a pic of it but I felt weird taking a picture of a strangers car. :)
